LESSON PLAN
Subject: Science Code Subject: 14201 Level: Grade 4
Department: Foreign Languages Semester: 2 Time: 10 hours
Unit: 6.1 Topic: The Moon

Main Point: The Moon is a ball of rocks, about one-quarter the size of the Earth.
Learning objectives:
At the end of the Science class, the students should be able to:
1. understand that the Moon does not give out light of their own but reflects the light of the Sun
2. explain why the moon shines
3. describe the conditions on the moon
4. identify the major moons on each planet
5. explain how the moon moves
Materials:
• utilization of materials: a model of the moon
• notebooks, A4 paper, paper sheets, drawing paper. coloring pencils
• PowerPoint presentation
• textbooks, www.google.com
• pictures, and videos
• mobile phones

TEACHER REFLECTION FOR THIS LESSON

Questions Reflections

Why was this lesson successful or not successful? Overall, I felt that the lesson went well, and the students were able to
explain the conditions on the moon. They also participated well in the
simple experiment inside the classroom on how the moon moves.
Students paid attention well. They are always reminded to use the
strategy of listening and participating in class. They like to participate
in science, especially when presented with an extensive PowerPoint
presentation with moving pictures, videos, and additional smartboard
activities.
How did the students behave and why was this? The use of videos and animated images shared through the PowerPoint
presentation was a big help in my lesson. As 40% of people respond
better to visual information over plain text, animation is a great way to
motivate students. The PPT that used animation to simplify complex
information and make it interesting for learners is a fantastic way to aid
my teaching.
The students enjoyed the video on the theories on how the moon came
about. The video about the gravity of the moon and the other moons in
the planet was quite exciting for them too.
What will I do differently in the future? Oral reading should be encouraged to increase their confidence and
love for English.
Small group projects/experiments with presentations and discussions to
generate simple explanations should be added more. (Science
laboratory should be provided to maximize learning).
Science vocabulary will be Thai translated for easy comprehension, and
English vocabulary memorization will be imposed.
Another thing is that there should be consistent and complementary
lessons taught in Thai and English to support each other and ensure a
high percentage of understanding by the students about the lesson
taught.
